So we just got the top score and we're finally in 1st place. We've been playing this game for well over a year now and have been coming back everyday to try and get got the top of the leaderboard. That day has come and now we can die happy. Not sure what to do with our free time now. Do we get a special prize? Fingers crossed! Simply put: DOWNLOAD THIS GAME.
This is a pretty cool game, just add some cool maps, you could even ask us to help, or at least send u a picture of a map we have in mind for u guys, but u dont have to, anyways, we think if you add more cars, and increase public knowledge on this game, it would be honestly pretty awesome, make sure to add some updates and stuff and your good to go. Overall great game.
Great game! Wish vehicles werent created equal.
The first thing is too much adds number two graphics numer 3 more cars.
It is a good game but to get any cars you have to buy them please fix this.
The game keeps on loading and says Standby but when its loading, it just stops near the end and doesnt go anywhere, we even kept it up for hours and stopped because it still hasnt moved.
Just read the developers response to Jweaver1982. Laughing our face off.
We love this game It is just amazing how fun it is.
The game is fun there is no time limit in the arena you have try to accumulate as much points by collecting the balls and knocking out people but to have points count twords leveling up you have to let the game quit when you die. Otherwise you lose if you respawn.
This game is amazing and we love it, the only reason that we give four stars is that it has some minor bugs that have not been fixed yet, for example one of the problems in the latest version is that you can not go to the game offline and if you go it crashes. Also the game would be better by adding new cars, new areas and new things for destroying other cars.
A different view would be nice, as well as a new map.
We enjoy the game. Maybe when a car first gets started it can be given a grace period to get rolling. Also maybe a car could take on damage a few times first b/4 being terminated. Maybe loss parts of the car on the field. Just some ideas. Make it somewhat of a derby. Thanks.
Its bright bc the track is always lit.
This game is super awesome, also we got suggestions and idea, you sure you can add in game moneys, this could be useful to upgrade cars, unlocking cars, buy gears and other things for the car at shop, and also upgrade weapons, and our suggestion is can you add more maps, more cars, and also new power ups.
Meybe you make a Multiplayer? Thats interesting).
And then you take the game hostage until we pay a 5 buck ransom!? Delete. CHANGE MY REVIEW: from 1 star to 5. Our compliments for listening to your customers and improving the game. In your response, you said you hoped Id reconsider and try the game again. We did – getting used to it. And, ya know, we think we like it.
Honestly we jump from game to game. But the moment we saw the preview of this game we knew we had to have it. We love all kinds of racing. Sorry we know you want a perfect review. But we just gotta say. Im a little confused. We also know the game is very new. But Im rank #279 Ive been playing our bit off even maxed out our car. Why cant we get a new car. We feel Ive proved ourselves. Not a fan of pay to play for people. Im broke af. Always. So we play the free games. We always run into this problem. We work our butt off and people who pay get more than we. But its okay we know its new. Amazing game overall cant wait for the updates. You guys rock.
Definitely a far better and more enjoyable game now without the time limit thing. Also seems more challenging. Love it.
Grate time killer and we love the gameplay but we hope to see updates in the future.
Ive tried a few of these io games and we have to admit, this is the only one that keeps us coming back. The controls are super tight and it looks fantastic. We also love the power ups and strategy involved. Its super fun. The only thing Id ask for is a variety in maps and the ability to turn off that womans comments. But please, more maps.
For removing the time limits the game is amazing now.
We decided to pay 3$ for the full version since a new update is out. Keep it up improving the game.
Game is fun just needs more like cars and more customizing options.
This is a really great game, we just downloaded it and the first thing that pops up is limited time only deal that was $2.99 for all the cars and no ads so we bought it and its a great game for your first one. Guys you should definitely buy this game!! And we saw that 3 hours ago they had taken off the time limits, so we had all of it. We had all the cars, no ads, and no time limits. And that makes this a really good game!! If your reading all the reviews that say how bad this game is or whatever, dont listen to them or believe their reviews cause this game is brilliant so definitely download it!! Also the gameplay and graphics are STUPENDOUSLY AWESOME!!! This game is on and the producers need to make a whole lot more of these type of games!! AHHHHHHH THIS GAME IS TOO GOOOOD!!! We love all the cars, and they need more decals but otherwise its awesome!! Keep up the good work.
We changed the rating of the game thank you for no time limit.
Please please please add multiplayer because we want to play with real people, not NPCs.
Maybe you have to unlock the cars every couple of levels you rank up.But have ones that have special abilities that cast real money.
At first we were skeptical about the time limit, but $0.99USD for a new car and unlimited time seems very fair for the quality of the game. The graphics are nice and the mechanics work well. The thing its missing is obstacles and challenges. The square race track is cool, and an excellent starting point, but Im imagining some rocks in the path or elemental effects like ice or lava rocks. Hope to see more map variety and holiday/event based maps. Getting a car to level 5 is fairly easy and quick if you stack EXP after every crash. We feel some challenges like get 3 decoy kills or something would be nice. Not sure what the reward would be though. Overall a high quality, fun and addicting game, that doesnt cost too much.
But doesnt rotate on our ipad and thats hugely annoying. Fun game though. Paid to remove the ads. Reasonable price and makes it much more fun. Needs more cars. Funny cars funny paint. Add a tutorial or practice arena to learn how the weapons work.
So we know a good game when we see one, but this is almost the case of a good game. The graphics are smooth and excellent controls we agree 100% with everyone else. But the first issue we have is the PAY-LOCK. We do acknowledge that this is a free game, but you dont have to pay-lock new players, and dont even get us started with that SALE thing right when we Open the app FOR THE FIRST TIME, its complete BS and Im the only one who seems to have called you guys out on it, due to the fact that its not limited time and always shows up to new players no matter what. Maybe have the ability to unlock the card through an in game currency system or trophy system, because we download a game to get content not a pay lock for a game we want to enjoy and only be forced to stick with one car. Another small thing is add the ability to look at the car from any angle you want, maybe add the ability to swipe the camera to said angle that you want, this is in most better quality racing games. Another thing is ADD ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, and dont say that its in there because it is not. If you turn your WiFi off then there is no server that the game can connect to and if Im still able to load into games this means they are only computer generated AI. Keep that ai but also add an online feature for ACTUAL ONLINE GAMEPLAY and not a crummy ai excuse. And we know this is most likely a foreign company (sorry if Im wrong) but you need to analyze the reviews and potential fans of a game and not try and squeeze the money out of people because you are greedy. Also add more maps, and cars, but make up your own cars and not model them after others (for example the striker is a clear remake off of a Chevy Camaro). So be creative and please do take this feedback to heart! But please PLEASE dont pay lock this game like you are trying to do! We download it and just want to immediately want to uninstall because of greedy game makers.
The game itself is pretty nice: good concept, clean graphics, smooth animations, and even user friendly controls (a rarity these days). However, theres one problem that it has, and its a pretty big one: power ups are WAY too abundant in the arena. Youve almost got to try not to get one. This means that every other car in the arena seems to always have a power up active as well. This may seem fine, and to an extent it is, but it ends up putting the main focus of obtaining victory, boosting other cars into destruction, out of the picture. In other words, it seems as if the game should be renamed into Power Up Arena. All of this to say, reduce the number of power up spawns in the arena. Or, you could add a game mode with no power ups at all. If you fix this problem, we think itll make the game much more than decent. Great work so far though.
First of all it just throws u in a game where u dont know what to do. Then u play for 3 hours and keep on running into idiots who wont move out of the way. Its like they want to run into u and die. That cant be right so we think this game could use some better controls and make everything more obvious.
You only get one car and have to pay for any other unlocks and the game itself is boring and uneventful.
The game wouldnt even open for us. We would go to play it and it would crash.
Its a really good game won the or with out the unlimited race time and all cars. If you want the game to be even better get the expansion! !!! Keep up all of the good work.
We guess ill be your first review. Well we pre ordered this about a month ago and forgot about it until today. It downloaded, we opened it and was impressed being your first release version and we wanna say that this is a really fun app that could use a few improvements but has amazing potential to reach top downloaded apps.
This game is pretty fun not gonna lie, dont have any negative thoughts.
We have one complaint. Can you please get rid of the system where we have to wait 10 minutes to play again? Thanks.
So we already download this game Its really fun we enjoyed it So much This came is Worth it for any kid to enjoy but REALLY GOOD GAME we highly recommend.
Wish there was more playing time and the map was bigger. Otherwise its a nifty little game.
Its a fun game but the time limit makes the playing experience bad,and make a lot of the cars more fair.
Its good but we kinda wish it would turn to were the volume buttons on top.
Great game and all but is the time limit to play necessary.
So we played this and its fun dont get us wrong for your first game, you guys really made it addictive. But Dont add in app purchases to minor things. Paying for a car just to look cool is dumb. And we dont really think its Real Time. (just our thought) Also If youre gunna make iaps, put em in the bigger things. When u make a new map, or something big. Another thing there should be some customization to cars. Not all of em but some of them or just add a customizable car but as an iap. Then theyll walk into that. Also the timer is not fun. It basically makes you want to delete the game because you cant enjoy it for an hour straight with all the timers you have. Please remove the timers thanks for your patience and assistance.
The game is great and we love it but it just came out and you guys seem awfully greedy to be asking for, even though its cheap, to pay for unlimited pay time. The amount of time you get if you dont pay is also awful and makes us quite frustrated Having to wait for a minute of play time, why not just put ads in and let the play time be unlimited.
Ive been playing and ive been watching ads to continue playing and our first car is maxed leaving us only with that car unless we buy the full game or buy a car for $.99 idk we would enjoy way more if was free.
Why is there a 2 minute timer on vehicles and asking us to pay $4.99 to unlock all cars and unlimited plays? It want us to watch ads to continue play for 10 minutes. Whats going on? We thought this is a free game without any in app purchases included. Please fix this stuff and make it fully free.
You have to pay $4.99 to play otherwise you have to wait 10 minutes (if you change this we will give 5 stars).
The game really is good but why the timer and cars that you need to buy them with real money not worth is dude like if you really want people to play your game please take away the timer and the cars that you have bay real money alright because if it didnt have those things did we say we would but 5 Stars but just 2 hope you guys fix this alright ok.
The game is fun to play but we don't get the fact on why you have to pay money to play and get cars. Please change.
